Blog Hop Wednesday -- May 17, 2017

Hi Friends: We are back with another blog hop Wednesday. You should have arrived by way of Liz's blogsite. Continue to Robbie's blogsite when you leave here.

We were challenged today to making a shape card. Any shape other than the usual rectangle. I chose to make a kind of circle. Since Stampin'Up! no longer has any of the large circle dies like in the past, I had to improvise. I cut a 4 x 8 piece of cardstock, folded in half. Then I cut a large circle in the front of the card using the largest size of the circle dies, then rounded the corners with the same circle die. Not quite a perfect circle card, but close enough to make an odd shape. With the dark background behind my card this looks almost like looking through a porthole.

We have been having some serious slow internet connections the past 2 days with the computers at our house. I had a very hard time getting this site to load and to get my card to download. I am going to hurry and finish up here before it locks up again.

The porthole was not intended. It was only after I finished my blog entry and was re-reading that I looked at the picture and porthole came to mind. Thanks to "unknown." Never thought of a life preserver, huh. We never know how things are perceived, sounds ok to me.
